The Footie Thread

Cardiff tonight under the lights at Villa Park.

Expecting a win but also expecting to rest a number of regular players so it might be interesting!

Would love to have a real go at this years FA Cup but I'm not sure the extra games are any good for a team already dealing with a lot of defensive injuries.

If Olsens in goal then its over before its even kicked off

Feel a bit weird - two weeks in a row have wanted West Ham to win , last week against Arsenal for obvious reasons and this week to get me through last man standing

I know sorry




I shouldn’t really be wanting West Ham to win

It’s what half and half scarves were invented for.

I've had this chat with my son, Newcastle fan. They are looking for a keeper for next season, strongly rumoured to be getting Trafford from Burnley, but Kellerher is already proven at this level and I think it would be a good move. He is wasted on the bench, he is a very good keeper.

Could you not face forcing Everton on him?

Have a look at the club's left in it. City Draw Newcastle in the next round and it's anyone's.

The poor lads already got a father who’s an Everton fan ( know how he feels)

I just can't have my kids supporting a different club. Can't have them laughing at me every week.

Yeah its certainly a competition we stand a chance in considering some big hitters are already out.

Were just not playing to the level we were last season really, mainly due defensive issues, and I struggle to see us winning it this year.

We live in a one club region, not just city or town, it wouldn't be fair on him .

If we lived in the NW still it would be a different matter. He would have been in royal blue baby grows from day one then

You got another couple of easier draws and who knows. I'd take relegation if it meant we won the cup.

Jon obi mikel’s rant about Carragher dismissing the AFCON as a major tournament is class

Can’t post a link as it contains a few F bombs.

Carragher really is a grade A

Normally yes, but I think he's been sold down the river on this AFCON thing. Most people are just jumping on the bandwagon when they didn't see the context of what he said. He was talking about the Ballon D'or and Salah, and he said that people governing the award wouldn't class the AFCON as a major trophy on a par with the World Cup, Euros or Copa America. And I think he's correct there. He didn't sit in a studio and say "the AFCON is rubbish and not a major trophy", yet that is what people are reacting to.

Still, it's always the same in this country. Something to be outraged about this week.

If my daughter grows up with any interest in football I think I'd rather she wasn't a Spurs fan. Tickets will be about £150 by then and it's right across the other side of London. If she wanted to watch Watford they're just round the corner and probably a damn sight cheaper.

Better football aswell

Having said the above, my father-in-law is a Celtic fan so she'd be much better off with them. At least they win.
